We’ve been keeping an eye on Vane, the quiet and dusty new title from members of The Last Guardian team. That would be Fumito Ueda’s long-awaited follow-up to the acclaimed Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.

Designed by Friend and Foe, Vane magically appeared this summer with little fanfare. Friend and Foe says, thus far, is a game about a child with an odd ability stuck in a strange land, which, in fairness, could describe almost anything. Nonetheless, the sleepy ambiance of this desolate place holds great promise.
